As long as boot camp is INSTALLED before the Leopard release, it won't stop working... the only thing the boot camp "license" refers to is the first time you use it to create the driver disc/ install windows.
Once windows is installed and you are dual-booting, there's no reason to worry about it not working.
Once Leopard is released, however, you more than likely will not be able to freely download boot camp any longer
I ordered a MacBook Pro on 9/16 (the last day to get a Free Nano in the US) and it was going to ship between 9/26 - 10/1, however it missed it's ship date and now is shipping out on 10/4 (today). After calling Apple and complaining about the delays , their response was that a Typhoon hit china where they build the MacBook Pros and Mac Pros which delayed all orders for a week. I was going to cancel the order and re-order the Laptop in a week so that I would get Leapord for free (14 day return policy... Up-to-date policy). After talking to three reps I finally got a rep who offered me 10.5 for free when it ships (even though I may be outside the "Up-to-date policy). Not bad...free nano and free OS X 10.5!
As I intend to migrate on Day One, I do hope it is two weeks from tomorrow as I'll need the weekend to get everything back to speed and start to familiarize myself with it.
My Prediction For 6PM Friday October 26th Has Been Out There For Months
I said 6PM Friday October 26 in June.
See you in Palo Alto.
You are wrong. Apple usually releases new OS X on Fridays although the Jaguar release was on a Saturday.

I used to be all hyped up on leopard... I was going to be the first in line, etc...
but now... its been so long... I just got my new imac... (24 inch white model)
Not really hyped anymore.... waited too long I guess.
Maybe once I play with it, inside a store i'll feel better about it.

You're certainly optimistic about that. I, for one, am content to say that I will be somewhere in line....
You said there'd be a new GM build today, countdown tomorrow and released on the 19th. (https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/4268079/) Are they wrong?
Under The Hood, Leopard Is Radically Better
What's not to still be hyped up about? There are many dramatic improvements on many fronts. I don't see how you could lose your enthusiasm for it over time. Nothing you experience playing around in a store will tell you how different it is. A lot of the changes are fundamental and way deep under the hood. I'm a lot more excited about what you can't see than what you can.
Does anyone think there could be features that we haven't seen yet? I know they are seeding to developers, but is it possible they will hold out on some things until the release? I agree with you, for apple to mention "Top Secret Features" I think we were all expecting to get our minds blown. Call me naive and hopeful, but I am waiting to be disappointed until after this cat comes out.
If it falls within the window the rebate is valid, yes.
I intend to use the first $70 for AppleCare on my iPhone, but the next $30 goes to Leopard.
Absolutely! And Steve would love it if you did!
Looking forward to all the Leopard goodness....
You are wrong. Apple always releases new OS X on Fridays.

Leopard, Schmepard. Tiger FTW.
